I shot some
Velvia 50 along with the 50mm sharpness tests.
I scanned it on my 4800 DPI Minolta
Multi Pro, which is an amateur scanner. A good scanner would
have pulled much more out of the film.

The film looks
bad. It has too much grain compared to the smooth digital results.

The first image
puts film at a 1.5x disadvantage, since I had to enlarge the film
an extra 1.5x to match the digital's reduced field of view. If I
had intended to do this correctly I would have used a 75mm lens on
film and enlarged it less.

The last image
looks smaller. It is the 35mm film not enlarged the extra 1.5x.

The third image
is shot with a 105mm lens to compare to medium format film. Again
this puts film at the 1.5x disadvantage. I should have used a 150mm
lens and enlarged it less to give the same field of view as the 50mm
lens on digital to be fair.

Those caveats
aside, I wanted to see how it looks. You can see a much better comparison
to 4x5 film here and
details here.

More important
than these images is what a pain it is to scan film. You have to
be kidding!

I spent almost
two months shooting and writing this comparison of 50mm lenses. No
one pays me for this. If you find this as helpful as a book you might
have had to buy or a workshop you may have had to take, feel free
to help me write more with a donation.
